Germline mutations in MSH6 can cause HNPCC, which is associated with a tumor phenotype featuring MSI. However, tumors arising in persons with disease-causing mutations of MSH6 may or may not exhibit MSI. We used D-HPLC to screen for germline mutations in the promoter region, the coding region and th

Germline CDKN2A mutations have been observed in approximately 20 percent of familial melanoma kindreds from North America, Europe and Australasia. There is also an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in a subset of families with mutations, however, the precise relationship between the CDKN2A gene an
We have analyzed DNA from peripheral blood of 42 cases of familial melanoma for germline mutations in exon 15 of the BRAF gene. No evidence of mutation was found. We have also analyzed DNA extracted from secondary melanoma from two members of these families. These results were also negative. In addi
To further explore the allelic heterogeneity within the group of LEMD3-related disorders, we have screened a larger series of patients including 5 probands with osteopoikilosis or Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome (BOS), 2 families with the co-occurrence of melorheostosis and BOS, and 12 unrelated patient
